Taco Filling

Rajas

Pico de Gallo

Method

Prepare the Shrimp

  1. 1

    Season and Cook Shrimp

    In a bowl, combine shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat.

Prepare Rajas

    Sauté Peppers and Onion

    In the same skillet, add sliced poblano peppers and onion. Sauté until they are soft and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the cream and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Prepare Pico de Gallo

  1. 3

    Mix Pico de Gallo

    In a bowl, combine diced tomatoes, red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assemble Tacos

    Build Tacos

    Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Layer the shrimp, rajas, and pico de gallo on each tortilla. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
